As we walked to and fro by the waters a-flow,
The waters in “the land of the sky.”
The children see true—they generally do—
The charming things all around;
I followed her view, and I presently knew
A Tanager’s nest was found.
The boys advanced, as soon as they glanced,
And down came the limb of a tree;
Thus fortune chanced, while little hearts danced,
With four wee fledglings to see.
